Nerd Out! Security Panel Discussion EP 6. Extremist Threats at Home and Abroad

The Nerd Out! Security Panel Discussion podcast episodes are recurring discussions among our team and our valued guests as we explore the all-hazards threats and risks impacting the United States and internationally. As we seek to help apply a threat-informed, risk-based approach to analysis, preparedness and operations, we hope these podcasts are informative and maybe even a little entertaining.

On the newest Nerd Out! Security Panel Discussion, Dave Pounder hosts Joe Levy, Bridget Johnson and Travis Moran as they tackle the latest terrorist incidents in France as well as the disrupted plot in Michigan. There are a lot of valuable lessons learned from these incidents, as well as the recent revelations from the 2017 Manchester concert bombing. The group then goes rapid fire through some security topics to include concerns through the end of the year, security issues aren’t talking about, Edward Snowden, Magnum P.I., Spencer for Hire, and more.
